NWS SPC

Although T.C. #3 is expected to make landfall in Louisiana, the storm will impact much of the Gulf Coast. There is a near 100% chance of rain over the next three days, and much of the coast could see between 5 to 12 inches of rain.

Heavy rain is expected across the state as well. Take a look at the graphics below from the National Storm Prediction Center.
